Presenting the Agilite K5

Agilite Gear Releases New Armor System

News Desk

Our friends at Agilite have released a new piece of kit they call the K5Plate Carrier. Its designed to integrate with some of their gear like the AMAP II (which, happily, you will soon see us reporting on).

One is currently on a barge from Israel, eventually to be offloaded onto a dog sled and sent to our token Canadian. He’ll be as ruthless in his reviewing process as the rest of the crew, just more polite about it.

Here’s how they describe it in their own words.

The K5 is a SAPI/ESAPI Plate Carrier that provides unrivaled versatility and comfort.

Designed based on input and battlefield testing from both Israeli and US Special Forces, it is lightweight, ergonomic and well thought-out, down to the last detail. The integrated rear attachment system accommodates all of the Agilite K Series attachments for mission-specific modification including the new AMAP II Directly attaching Modular Assault pack and the upcoming AMAP 30L.

The integrated laser-cut rear Molle ensures a no-bounce, no slip assault pack experience. The rear laser cut Molle is not based on different layers glued together like other companies which come apart over time, It’s sewn on, overlaid on the regular strength Molle giving you access to the regular Molle but a full velcro area for rear pack stabilization.

The “V” construction of the plate carrier spreads the weight of the plates over as much surface area as possible and avoids strap pressure points.

The K5 was designed together with field testing from IDF ground and Air SF units as well as US SF elements in Afghanistan.

If you want a K5 or any other gear from the Holy Land head on over here. While you’re there, check out the new products section for all the new releases. It’s good kit.
